WOODLAWN YOUTH MINISTRY
A NEW SEMESTER!
Well, the summer is officially over for our teenagers and they have already begun another exciting school year. The lives of these teenagers are becoming busier and busier everyday. Many of them are getting involved in sports, band, ROTC, academic teams, drama; you name it, they’re doing it. Not only are things exciting and busy at school, but here at church also. This semester the teenagers are really getting after it in class. On Sunday mornings, the teens are going through a Prison Epistles Series with Al Watkins. On Wednesday nights they are traveling through a series called VELOCITY. During this series the teenagers will learn about how to deal with certain issues that they face in everyday life - drugs, alcohol, identity, etc. Also on the first Wednesday night of every month, the teenagers will be engaging in a "Block Prayer." We will load up in the van and go to different streets surrounding our church building and pray for the people on those streets. This will be an exciting time to get out and bring God to our community. Please keep them in your prayers as they draw closer to one another and to our Lord.
FALL RETREAT 2003
Please keep our teenagers in your prayers as they travel to Lake Brownwood this weekend for an exciting time with brothers and sisters from other congregations to celebrate a weekend with our Lord.
Because of Christ,
Elijah
